AS FAR AS GREASING THE ACTUAL BEARINGS, HE DOES IT THE OLD FASHIONED, MESSY WAY.....AT NAPA AUTO PARTS AND OTHER STORES, THEY HAVE A GADGET THAT LOOKS LIKE 2 FUNNELS ON A BOLT (SORTA-KINDA!)......HAVE THEM SHOW YOU HOW TO PLACE THE BEARING IN IT PROPERLY, AND HOW TO KNOW WHEN YOU HAVE PUMPED IN ENOUGH GREASE. I TAKE THE ACCESS AND SMEAR IT ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE BEARING, AND THE RACES.......IT IS SO FAST--AND LESS MESSY--AND FILLS THE BEARING MORE FULLY WITH GREASE!

LET ME KNOW IF YOU NEED HELP, OR HAVE QUESTIONS

LET ME KNOW HOW IT ALL WORKS OUT TOO!
